Quick Classic



Hey kids. Poppin to give you a nice golden nugget to keep you goin. Checked out Rififi last afternoon at the belcourt. It's a enjoyable exercise of a genre heist movie. It felt it was really born out of a apt directorial style which could at times be a little demonstrative and unsubtly. I liked it. It's basically about this badass dude who pulls one more heist with his crew after a stint in jail because he feels like it.

The focus of the piece is a little more interesting through because the crime isn't the centerpiece. It's just the means to what the film really want to explore, human aspect and fallout after the loot has been stolen. It genuinely surprised me as well as offering some thematic material to chew on about the "hood" element. Are they just little boys playing with toy guns. Anyway, before i delve too deep, for a good time call Rififi
